Nuerons and heartbeat
Compete
For my words
While Cadmium Blue
And Vermillion pump
Through
Me
Eager fingers dip
Splash, slip, smear
While hips
Sway
And I hum in the
Key of joy
Michaelangelo
Leaves me at a loss
For words
But my fingers
Are ready to sing

I love the title "Art-iculate." For me this poem expresses how art so often can really inspire a person, make his/her words 'sing.'
ReplyDeleteThank you! You caught my meaning:-)
DeleteWhat a vision I am having right now ... you, standing in front of a canvas, music in the background, hair and body moving in sync .. very nice. The art work is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThank you Helen your vision is very accurate:-) And thank you very much for the compliment on my art! You have me smiling all over

Dani! Thank you very much--I hum and sway while cooking, and doing dishes and...if I'm eating something really delicious.
DeleteAlso, thank you for the wonderful prompt :-)

ReplyDeleteKey of joy."

Mad just beat me to it... humming in the key of joy! It could also be "humming in the key of Michelangelo." That's ever farther afield, but whatever. Loved this! Peace, Amy
ReplyDeleteHere's an art poem I wrote about my daughter, Riley, who's at Laguna Beach Institute of Art & Design:
